Review

"Dekker's ability...is striking. It would be easy for a memoir dealing with this subject to veer into an angry, ranting outburst, but Dekker's restrained writing conveys the chaos with refined dignity. Dekker is refreshingly honest...Which makes the story all the more poignant and inspiring."--Kirkus Reviews

"Positive, inspiring, exemplary and deeply spiritual. One Kid at a Time is an instant classic. I loved it." --The Reverend Mel White, author of Stranger at the Gate

Keck, Ph.D., Founder/Director of the Attachment and Bonding Center of Ohio, co-author of Parenting the Hurt Child, and author of Parenting Adopted Adolescents.

"When I finished reading this book, I thought it would appeal to all CASA/GAL volunteers. It's more than inspirational. It reminds us that our work enriches the lives of both children and the adults who care about them."--Michael S. Piraino, National CASA Association, CEO
